Why study Marketing - Advanced Marketing Analytics?

Companies will need employees who understand data that is available to them. A study from McKinsey & Co. found that by 2018, the United States will face a shortage of 1.5 million managers who can use data to shape business decisions. This sequence will provide skill development, introduction and use of contemporary analytical tools, and context that will be useful for future workers to manage effectively.
